It’s probably a mix of both. Thankfully, I’m in a position where I can afford to pay for cable; I choose not to because the increasing prices coupled with decreasing reliability moved it from the luxury goods/services category to the more trouble than it’s worth category.
My guess is that if more people had the technical capability to do so, they’d make the switch in a second.
Bow-chicka-wow-wow.

I covered this before, but exactly what is the real benefit to this app if the content can’t leave the house? It might have a pleasant interface for setting your DVR. In 2011 that seems a little lacking. Slingbox came out when? 2006? Have TWC not been following Spotify, or Rdio? Those music services allow subscribers to take their content with them. Mobility; that’s what people really want*
*What people really, really want is to only have to subscribe to the shows they want; we’ll see the porcine sound barrier broken first.
Randall, thanks for the reblog. Actually, not complex at all. What seems hard, or worth the additional expenditure of $1500 a year on channels that you never use? The only device you touch as the user is the remote. Everything else happens completely behind the scenes.
This just sounds too complicated. Let me make an easier infographic:
